.... continuing story. I had one softreaid5 with five disks, each 300GB. I tried to add another disk to it, however, yast refuses to do so. So i tried to do it manually: mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sdl1 mdadm --grow -n6 /dev/md1 Checking: # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [linear] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md1 : active raid5 sdl1[6] sdg1[0] sdk1[5] sdj1[3] sdi1[2] sdh1[1] 1171844608 blocks super 1.0 level 5, 128k chunk, algorithm 0 [6/6] [UUUUUU] [=>...................] reshape = 9.4% (27816448/292961152) finish=4272.2min speed=1032K/sec bitmap: 20/280 pages [80KB], 512KB chunk So the extra disk (/dev/sdl) is accepted, and not defined as spare. According to what google tells me, i should now have been able to do a resize, in my case a resize_reiserfs. However, resize_reiserfs says: # resize_reiserfs /dev/md1 /dev/md1 already is of the needed size. Nothing to be done However: # df -m /dev/md1 Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md1 1144345 1079278 65068 95% /srv/distro/repo Gives me the old size, the one before adding the disk.. Am i forgetting something obvious (besides too much coffee and too little sleep) ??
